Hopefully, this will help you walk into your consultation feeling confident and ready to jump into your residential door replacement service head first. 

Door Frame

The frame is the area of your door that provides its structure and holds every other aspect of the door together.

What may surprise many homeowners is the fact that a door frame is made from a variety of other parts. While some may think it’s just one long continuous piece, it is actually made up of an array of different pieces.

Door Jamb

The upper piece of your door frame is called the head jamb. It runs horizontally. The side jambs are the side pieces of the door frame. Together, these pieces make up your door’s strong and sturdy frame.

They can be made of wood, fiberglass, and steel. We work with Pella windows and doors and Western windows and doors to offer homeowners frames made from high-quality materials designed to last.

Sill

The sill is also called a threshold. You’ve likely heard this word before. The sill is the part of the door frame that is on the floor. It remains underneath the door.

This piece is vital in protecting your home from water and incoming drafts.

Sidelights

When searching for the perfect way to add a touch of elegance to your home’s doors, the sidelights are a wonderful place to start.

Sidelights are the glass panels that surround the doors. They can be customized with beautiful designs and made from high-quality glass that brings the natural light in while maintaining stellar energy efficiency.

Customizing the sidelights is a beautiful way to make your doors look unique and upgrade your home’s aesthetic.

Glazing

Another style element of any high-quality door is the glazing. The glazing is the glass inserts that go within your door panel.

This can also be customized with different designs, patterns, and shapes. The doors provided by Western and Pella can be outfitted with the perfect glazing to meet any homeowner’s specific style.
